Agua Interesente

A shot from the edge of the fountain in Cusco´s Plaza de Armas. If I had it again, I´d frame it differently, but had to post it simply because of the movement in the water. The Plaza is a very large open space in a city of very few, although apparently when Cusco, the capital of the Incan empire, was conquered by Peru, it was much larger, and of course covered in gold. What I wouldn´t give for a time machine.

This one definitely needs to be zoomed in on to look half decent, so click away. One thing I´d like to note is that this was taken just after my first decent meal in Cusco, after a 3 day bus odyssey (no stopovers to sleep in a bed, have a proper meal or even shower... Don´t ask me what I was thinking, particularly after having just flown into South America from Australia). At any rate, this meal was, interestingly enough, Pizza d´Alpaca. You probably don´t need to know Spanish to work out what that is, and washed down with half a litre of the local brew, it was exactly what the doctor ordered!
